My carb on my old 2100 thiokol is leaking fuel. It has the 391 v8 in it. Does anyone know what model holley carb this is so I can order a rebuild kit?

The carb on our 2100b is a Holley 4150G (governed carb). A strange beast with larger primaries than secondaries and a connected to a hose from the bottom of the distributor. I've rebuilt 100's of carbs and this one just didn't seem worth it. I replaced it with a Motorcraft MC2100 two barrel from a Ford Galaxie with a 390 engine (1.21 or 1.23 venturi), using a common aluminum adapter and it runs great now. Holleys are terrible at steep hills without a bunch of mods anyway. For the high price of a Holley kit you might be able to get a good MC2100 or (MC2150, even better) and the adaptor and it won't be prone to leaking. So simple and easy to tune. Google the Jeep enthusiasts for more info. Just my experience, your results may differ.

Hey pat I appreciate it. I'm going to look into the conversion. I am in a time crunch right now just because its winter now but whichever way works best and quickest I am going with. How is the snow up there this time of year?
